Oh, the Buzzcocks, the "Godfathers of Punk" as we now know it and an inspiration for bands from Joy Division to Greenday to Sum 41 (thanks a lot, 'cocks). This band has been driven by dual-songwriting members Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle for a hell of a lot of years now. Their polit-punk lyrics grace a brand new release called Flat Pack Philosophy (Cooking Vinyl), an album that skewers consumerist culture and offers plenty of other socio-political observations, Jumping from Warped Tour to perform at the Town Ballrrom on Wednesday (July 12). The Buzzcocks will be performing with the Strays, whose debut album Le Futur Noir (TVT Records) is due out on Sept. 12th. Doors open at 7pm.
